No before picture or very many pictures giving much info really, but...

Here is an Oak i worked on the other week, had about a 3rd of the crown detach itself (which was carnage on the deck) and revealed the hollow stem. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1352308686.232156.jpg.28f98fa1d0cb7dc33ad2332c82c4cd32.jpg

 

The proposed work was to remove it... But my boss proposed this instead

 

It was done in one hit... Had f.hepatica fruiting in old wounds and on a few

Lower branches (cool :)) and i think l.sulphureous because of the mycelial sheets between the brown rot cubes (correct if wrong because we only touched the subject at college) what do you think of its chances of survival? Will the leaves pop out next year and become a "veteran" or ....well die?

Yes laetiporus mycelial felts as they are called, and thanks for noting the combined association with Fistulina they do not like being in the same space, competing for the same resources (Cellulose and Hemicellulose) I think she will be just fine and be a mighty impressive veteran as she continues to thrive.:thumbup1:
